Masks required in indoor locations
19 December
Face masks must be worn by everyone aged 12 and over when in public indoor settings in Tasmania from 12.01am Tuesday 21 December 2021.
Masks provide an additional layer of protection against COVID-19 for both yourself and others around you.
Face masks will be required to be worn when visiting:
indoor workplaces such as offices
education settings for example university buildings or schools
indoor businesses and shops such as supermarkets and retail stores
indoor service settings such as banks or pharmacies
public transport such as a bus, taxis or in a rideshare
Masks are not required to be worn outdoors, unless attending a large event where masks are already required. You may choose to wear a mask outdoors as an additional safety measure against COVID-19.
When at home or visiting someone else in their home, a mask is not mandatory.
There are certain exceptions to wearing a mask, including for certified medical reasons. Reasons for not wearing a mask are not always obvious, so please be respectful of others.
More details on the mask wearing requirement will be provided on this website when available.
